Express yourself

You have always been creative that's why you have purple, yellow and red feature walls  that adorn your home. People love bright colours don't they.

WRONG:
When selling you really need to tone it down a little. A neutral colour is always best. Use your creative side with the use of bright soft furnishings etc... A Neutral home will photograph much better than a home that has brightly coloured walls etc. It will also appear much larger.

Animals

The dog is part of the family he can stay inside when buyers inspect the property and the cat doesn't hurt anyone just don't let it go outside.

WRONG:
Animals especially larger dogs can really make buyers feel quiet anxious. I know this from personal experience. Nothing worse if you have a fear of dogs and the vendors dog is at your feet. All you want to do is get out as quick as you can! And as for not letting the cat out...We are here to sell the house not worry about the cat escaping. Pets belong outside during inspections.

Furniture Placement

Just leave your furniture the way you like it, yes its hard to get around but you like it that way.

WRONG:
Remove the extra furniture that clutters up the room. You want your buyers to be abel to walk around comfortably.

sporting Stuff

Everybody loves football and cricket don't they. They all love the framed jerseys and seeing all the old sporting tropys?

WRONG: Best to put all the kids tropys and your favourite footy team stuff out of sight! You don't want to upset someone that barracks for another team now do you! Ha HA

Smelly

Don't worry about emptying the kitty litter. After all you did it yesterday, right? It really doesn't smell that bad does it? Oh yes and what about the cigarette smoke and the pile of dirty clothes on the floor?

WRONG: Nothing more off putting for a buyer than a house that smells stale or stenches of cigarette smoke / animal. We often become unaware of the smell of our homes. Ask your friends for their opinions.

• Definitely empty that kitty litter every day, better still keep in outside in the garage
• Ventilate the home
• Place some air fresheners throughout the home
• Please empty those ash trays and don't forget about the ones outside.
• Keep dirty clothes out of sight
• Freshen up the bedlinen and wash the cushion covers 
• Rid the place of dog hair
• Put the animal bowls out of sight
